Driving schools in Germany are among the companies that earn quite well. This is also shown by the statistics on driving licences issued. According to Statista, the German online portal for statistics, the number of driving licences issued was around 41.7 million. That is more than 1.5 million more than in the previous year.
That's actually a pretty modest number. The measures against the coronavirus have also had a major impact on this sector, with the result that driving schools have had to reckon with fewer customers for around two years. However, a comparison with 2006 shows us how popular they are for Germans. The number of driving licences issued almost doubled during this period.
Moreover, the number of driving licences does not reflect the total number of customers. Many people re-apply because they are unable to pass either the theory or practical tests. The first driving licence was issued to coach drivers in Germany and perhaps in many other countries.
We know that the first riding and driving school was founded in Elmshorn in 1894. However, the first driving school as we know it today was founded in 1904 by Rudolf Kempf and was called the "Auto-Lenkerschule". This driving school was aimed at men aged 17 and over who were able to present an official driving licence. Car manufacturers recognised the potential of this driving school and Kempf enjoyed their full support.
However, it was 17 years before anyone spoke of a driving instructor. It was not until 1969, however, that future drivers were able to benefit from a trained driving instructor. Furthermore, the number of driving schools registered in Germany is constantly decreasing.
While we had 13,262 driving schools in 2009, 10,900 driving schools were counted in 2018. This is mainly due to driving instructors retiring and a lack of new recruits. However, interest is still high.
A good driving school not only needs good driving instructors for high customer satisfaction, but also good cars. Of course, high-quality car mats play a major role in achieving high customer satisfaction. As doormat pro we have focussed on the production of custom-fit 3D floor mats, which offer several advantages for driving schools.
